Brexit - Good For Great Britain

The British people wisely voted to leave the European Union. In doing so, they cast aside more than 100,000 pages of stifling, job killing regulations that were a threat to their freedom and economic development. The European Union, which should have simply been a Free Trade Zone and a vehicle for a common currency, morphed into another huge layer of Socialist government attempting to dictate regulations, written by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats, that intrude into all aspects of daily life.
In fact, the British people were losing control of THEIR borders and their country as more than 60% of regulations where completely out of their control.Despite the short term dislocation from Brexit, in the long term Great Britain and the British people will be far better off by taking back their country.

This decision has the potential for putting the word "Great" back into the name Great Britain. Let's not forget that Great Britain is the 5th largest economy in the world. They have been a global power for more than 500 years. They don't need bureaucrats from little countries, with little economic success, dictating job killing regulations and or trade policy to them. Most important, Great Britain is still a member of NATO, far more important than the EU, the G7 and has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, all of which means that their voice will be heard loud and clear and with more impact than ever than just being one of 28 countries.

The British people, through their elected representatives are now free to turn Great Britain into a business powerhouse by lowering taxes and getting rid of job killing regulations. They are fortunate in that London, as business, financial, transportation and entertainment world class city is going no where.
From London, Great Britain can attract companies from all over the world to move their headquarters there as they vote with their feet to get out of the European Union, as well as, other countries seeking a more advantageous business environment. History is our teacher.Great Britain can now act in its best interests to bring jobs to their country and to control its borders so that immigration is not automatic. All the way around, Brexit will be good for Great Britain, the British people and the world.
